- An old resurfacing that is failing
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Sapley, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
